Critic reviews

Needless to say, a book about the history of physical training practices from warrior cultures from all over the world catches my attention. And I'm very glad that my friend James Pieratt is the one to write it. Not only is James a physical specimen who truly walks the walk when it comes to functional training, but he is also an avid researcher with a never-ending passion for history.” - Daniele Bolelli, Historian and Host of the ‘History on Fire’ podcast
